17 Weeks

Well, today I'm 17 weeks and 2 days. This week has been good - nothing too eventful except a morning of heartburn. Although, I never knew you could have heartburn in your stomach. Weird. I called the doc after a few minutes of worrying and the nurse told me to take an antacid. Sure enough, it was gone within the hour. Note to self: don't eat sausage rolls until AFTER baby arrives!

So for now, here is my milestone update for the week.

How far along? 17 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: +6 lbs. (I only go by the doc's scale so this will only be updated every 4 weeks) :)
Maternity clothes? Every day!
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Trying to get used to sleeping on my left side (I'm a back sleeper)
Best moment this week: Knowing that we are less than 3 weeks away from finding out if we're having a boy or girl!
Movement: still nothing :(
Food cravings: Strawberries Romanov (skipped the sauce since there's rum in it though...sad day)
Gender Ideas: still boy
Labor Signs: None
Belly Button in or out? In
What I miss: Romanov sauce (see "Food Cravings")
What I am looking forward to: Knowing what to shop for - a boy or a girl
Weekly Wisdom: Don't eat sausage rolls anymore; I had my first pregnancy heartburn experience, ouch!
Milestones: Got AFP blood test results and all was normal (this is a test for spina bifida). Yea for good news!
